Definitions
- Capsule and method for preparing a beverage such as
- the present invention relates to a capsule and a method for preparing a beverage such as a coffee extract from a single-use capsule containing a beverage ingredient (e.g., roast and ground coffee) inserted in a beverage producing beverage .
- a beverage ingredient e.g., roast and ground coffee
- capsules containing a beverage ingredient is described in EP0468570.
- the principles consists in inserting a capsule containing coffee powder and extracting a coffee liquid by tearing a delivery membrane of the capsule under the effect of pressure against a capsule holder comprising a network of small truncated pyramids. The truncated
- pyramids create controlled orifices in the membrane and filter the coffee extract that is discharged through the capsule holder then down to a discharge duct.
- the method may also produce over-extraction of compounds that provide undesired bitterness to the coffee extract.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a solution to this need by proposing a method which
- the invention relates to a method for the preparation of a beverage, preferably coffee, using a capsule containing a dose of beverage ingredient,
- a beverage preparation unit comprising a capsule holder and a water injection enclosing member; comprising the operations of:
- the water bypass is stopped or at least reduced during water injection by softening the material of the rim under the effect of hot liquid injected between the capsule and the enclosing member and the mechanical pressure exerted by the injection
- the material of the rim is preferably a semicrystalline polymer material chosen in a grade having a Vicat softening point (ISO 10350) between about 30 and 100°C, preferably between 40 and 90°C, most preferably between 40°C and 80°C.
- ISO 10350 Vicat softening point

- the PLA polyester is a blend or copolymer of PLLA (poly-L-lactide) and PDLA (poly-D-lactide) .
- the ratio of PLLA: PDLA can be varied depending on the degree of crystallinity, mechanical properties and temperature resistance desired.
- the synergy between the behaviour properties of the material of the capsule, in particular its rim, and the configuration of the device provides a certain dilution ratio of the final beverage.
- the dilution ratio can be controlled by choosing the proper material of the capsule and
- the extraction is carried out in basically two steps; a first step during which a certain water bypass is
- beverages obtained by prior art capsule systems providing no bypass effect.
- the delivery wall of the capsule preferably tears under pressure against protrusions provided on the capsule holder during water injection.
- delivery wall is an aluminium membrane of thickness comprised between 10 and 120 microns, preferably between 20 and 100 microns.
- the membrane is allowed to tear only when a threshold of pressure is reached in the capsule according to the principle described in EP0468570. This enables to provide a higher interaction of coffee and hot water in the capsule. It also promotes the bypass of water in the first part of the extraction. However, a compromise should be reached to ensure that the bypass is not too large which would prevent pressure from
- the rim has preferably a thickness comprised between 0.5 and 1.2 mm, most preferably 0.7 to 1.1 mm.

- the PLA may be further plasticized by oligomeric lactic acid (OLA) , citrate ester, low molecular weight polyethylene-glycol (PEG) and combinations thereof.
- OVA oligomeric lactic acid
- PEG low molecular weight polyethylene-glycol
- the method comprises an operation of injection of hot water through the injection enclosing member 4 in the cavity after closing as shown in figure 2.
- the material of the rim is not yet softened by the pressurized liquid.
- the grooves 15 remain at least partially opened forming water bypassing through-holes in the enclosing member 4.
- the pump of the device e.g., a piston pump (not illustrated) forces water under pressure in the cavity. The rising pressure thereby causes water to flow through the restriction formed by the grooves which are not yet clogged by the material of the rim.
- This leakage provides a bypass 18 for the flow of water which is collected by the collector 5 and drains through the discharge duct 11 to fill the receptacle (e.g., the coffee cup) placed underneath.
- the pressure loss created in the capsule may be higher than the pressure loss created outside the capsule, i.e., by the flow restriction caused by the grooves 15.
- the membrane does not perforate yet against the capsule holder 3 or perforates only partially thereby causing some liquid extract to start being dispensed from the capsule.
- Water or resulting mixture i.e., water and some liquid extract is collected by the collector 5 and into the receptacle.
- pressurized hot water has softened the rim sufficiently that the enclosing member penetrates further into the rim due to the mechanical/hydraulic pressure causing the grooves 15 to become clogged by the material of the rim.
- the water bypass 18 stops or is at least significantly reduced which causes the pressure in the capsule to further rise significantly.
- Interaction between coffee powder and water is normally obtained at a higher pressure than in the first extraction phase.
- the delivery wall is a tear membrane, it can perforate against the protrusions (or be further torn) ) and the liquid extract is released, as illustrated, at least a higher flow rate than in the first phase.
- the liquid extract overcomes the back-pressure of the wall and discharges through the capsule holder.
- Figure 4 illustrates a variant of the invention in which the capsule 2 comprises a flange-like rim 14 which comprises a lip 19 forming a local increase of thickness protruding in a direction opposite to the delivery wall 13.
- the lip is configured on the flange-like rim to be deformed by the pressing surface 17 of the enclosing member 4 to fill the grooves 15 after sufficient
- One or more than one lip can extend from the base portion of the rim, such as a series of two or three concentric annular lips.
- the lip can be made so that it is more flexible and/or thinner than the transversal annular wall of the rim. As a result, the lip softens more rapidly while the rest of the rim becomes remains rigid.
- the lip preferably comprises a cross section that decreases from its base to its free end, e.g., forming a conical, pyramidal or rounded section.
- Figure 5 illustrates another variant in which the capsule 2 comprises a flange-like rim 14 which is thicker than at least a wall portion of the body 12 outside the rim.
- the body comprises three portions, a flange ⁇ like rim 14, a sidewall 20 and a bottom wall 21.
- the thickness (tl) of the flange-like rim 14 is dimensioned to be thicker than the thickness (t2) of the sidewall 20 or than the thickness (t3) of the bottom wall 21.
- the thickness (t2) of the sidewall 20 is equal or higher than the thickness (t3) of the bottom wall.
- the bottom wall 21 is preferably made thinner to provide a lesser resistance to perforation by the perforating elements 16 whereas the flange-like rim is made thicker to ensure a sufficient amount of material for sealing purpose.
- the flange-like rim 14 could also be made as thick as the sidewall 20 and only the bottom wall is made thinner.
- the flange-like rim could also be as in the embodiment of figure 4, i.e., with a lip protruding from the base portion of the rim.
- the sealing means e.g. lip 19 or increase thickness
- the sealing means provides a liguid-tight engagement with the pressing surface which is effective from the beginning of the water injection operation without creating a bypass as aforementioned.
- a tight-engagement can be desired to ensure higher pressure conditions in the capsule, for example, when extracting a short and/or stronger coffee such as espresso or
